where would you rather swim?

[seavessel44]

Since its summer time. thought this would be an interesting topic.
Do you prefer to swim in an outdoor pool or in a lake?
Each have their advantages and disadvantages.

For me personally, I prefer to swim at the lake, but pools are ok too.
About once a week, I go to the lake near me, where there is a beach there with a swimming area.
The swimming area has a dock you can jump off (but not dive off)..the water at the end of the dock is about 7 feet deep.
You can also swim out the edge of the swimming area (rope) where the water is 10 feet deep.
I bring my goggles and swim underwater (where it is 10 feet deep) and love it.
Yet some people tell me, they do not like swimming in deep lake water (even at a beach), that it is scary.

What about you?

I like to swim in lakes and at the beach. Going deep underwater is fun, can hold my breath for a while. I have seen lots of fish and stuff, but kelp and seaweed do creep me out. My favorite spot is a rocky beach on Santa Catalina Island, California. Where there are tons of fish and clear water.

I prefer a pool, myself. Lakes are fun and I do enjoy swimming in them from time to time, but they are often too crowded on hot days and you have no control over the people around you.
